MIIIMHtl Club May Occupy Larger Quarters With the expansion of the Com mercial Club the present quarters threaten to become rather crowded and there has been some talk of mov ing to larger quarters upon further expansion of the club. The following discussion appeared in the Mail Tri bune recently from the pen of W. H. Day of Ashland: "Contingent upon further expan sion aa to membership, the Commer cial Club plans to occupy enlarged quarters accordingly. A project is under way whereby the organization may become housed in the McCarthy block, on West Main street, occupy ing those entire quarters which are now aValalble. The armory formerly was located on the second floor of this building and it Is equipped with every requisite in the way of lobby, auditorium, kitchen and pantry. The auditorium affords one of the finest dancing floors in town, and Is also suited for other social functions. The plan is to locate the offices, reading and billiard rooms on the first floor, leaving the second floor to be used as above indicated. The location is an ideal one, with a north frontage, and is situated on the principal thor oughfare through town, where all the travel over the Pacific highway would pass directly by Its doors. "The club membership is now 375, but this is far from the high water mark which the promoters of the or ganization hope to attain in the near future. If these expectations are realized the change will be effected, inasmuch as the club has received tin offer from the owners of the property in the way of rental which Is consid ered a minimum one in view of the advantage to be derived. The wom en's auxiliary of the Civic Improve ment Club is a prominent factor In the commercial body, and the con templated change would afford the ladles ideal quarters in which to hold their gatherings." Henry W. Savage's production of the musical delight of the decade, the operetta "Sari," with Mizzl Hajos and the New York cast, comes to the Vlnlng theatre June 24. "Sari" was hailed by the New York critics and theatre-going public last season as the legitimate successor to "Tb Merry Widow" and, like that other triumph of Mr. Savage's, is of Hun garian origin. It played for one en tire season and part of another in New York. The music Is by Emmer ich Kalman and has all the passionate fire. Joyous, piquant melodies and varlouB danch music characteristics ' of Hungarian compositions. The song hits "Love Has Wings." "Softly Through the Summer Night," "Love's Own Sweet Song," "My Faithful Stradivari" and the rollicking, eccen tric dance, "The Hazaxaa," became Instantly popular on the operetta's Jim Millinery, Hosiery, Gloves, and Corsets m me ladies without seams lout seams el) 35c and 45c, clearance sale only 18c Successors to R.

Mr. Savage has civen to the operetta a lavish setting, the Hungar ian costumes in the first act forming a riot of blending color combinations. The sensational "ahead-of-the-mod-els" gowns in the Parisian ball room setting are the extreme limit of the modiste's, daring in design and strik ing color combinations. Autoists Make Publicity Tour In a big blue touring car, driven by the owner, A. V. Nye of Vancou ver, B. C, five prominent good roads and motor car enthusiasts of British Columbia passed through Ashland Sunday of last week bound for San Francisco and the exposition. The party stopped several hours in Ashland and were much enraptured with the beauties of the park and the city. The roads of the valley were most highly praised and Jackson county may be assured of a good boost from the Canadians. The trip from Medford to Ashland was made In seventeen minutes. The party left about 4 o'clock and expected to make Shasta Springs that night. The motorists are making the trip to advertise Vancouver and British Columbia cities and spread abroad among eastern motorists and else where the attractions of a motor trip over the Pacific highway as far north 'as Vancouver. Those In the party are A. F. Nye of Vancouver, S. B. i Buchanan of Westminster, H. A. Fremlln of the Vancouver Automo bile Club, H. G. Miilligan-of the mil 'nlclpality of Point Gray, and C. Bruce of South Vancouver, well ; known lumbermen. Cantine Made Head of Highway Work By a resolution adopted Tuesday, the Oregon highway commission de posed State Engineer John H. Lewis as state highway engineer and put his chief deputy, E. I. Cantine, in charge of all highway work save that initiated prior to May 22. State Treasurer Thomas B. Kay introduced the resolution, which was supported by Governor James Wlthycombe and opposed by Secretary of State Ben W. Olcott. The resolution came as a climax to a controversy as to whether State Engineer Lewis or his chief deputy has highway engineer under a law passed by the last legislature, merg ing the office of highway engineer with that of state engineer.

Work will be started at once and will mean the expenditure of several million dollars. There is now more work going forward and being planned for this year in rail road development in Oregon than in any other state in the Union. The new projects announced last week are as follows: The Oregon-Washington Railway & Navigation Company will build a thirty-mile extension to its line re cently completed from Vale to River side, Ore. The extension from River side will be westward to Crane Creek Gap. The Southern Pacific announced it would electrify between Whlteson and Corvallis, a distance of 43 miles, as an extension of the electric unit between Portland and Whlteson, which until July 1 is known as the Portland, Eugene & Eastern railway. The work of the Oregon-Washington Railway & Navigation Company will cost $1,500,000 or more. In southern Oregon several mil lions will be spent in railroad work during the year. The Grants Pass municipal railroad, which was taken over by the Twohy Interests, will be extended into a heretofore undevel oped country immensely rich in tim ber, mining and agricultural re sources. The city of Roseburg has voted a $500,000 bond issue to build a rail road to the Cascade forest, contin gent upon which Kendall Brothers' lumber interests will build a $2,000, 000 sawmill and engage in extensive lumbering projects. Landscape Artist Is Here To-Day Landscape Artist McLaren is here today from San Francisco with plats for the park and brings with him P. H. Harris, who will remain here dur ing the summer and personally super vise the park work. Mr. Harris has been Mr. McLaren's right hand man on many big propositions and is a man of great experience. Mr. Mc Laren will run up occasionally from San Francisco to watch over the work. In getting Mr. McLaren to take charge of this work the springs com mission has secured the best man on the coast. Works of such magnitude as the Panama-Pacific exposition stand behind his reputation. Architect F. C. Clark is also in the city today making Investigations pre liminary to drawing up plans for park buildings. Have a fit at Orres' tailor shop. Sale DEPOT DOINGS. X. C.
